AbstractThis pioneering study of immigrant literature probes the effect which the double status of German-American women writers -- as immigrants and as women -- had on their professional lives. The author recreates the fascinating cultural context of the immigrant society during the "golden age" of its literary tradition, 1850-1890, emphasizing the sociological, economic, historical and psychological variables shaping women's professional opportunities and literary production. Dr. Stuecher's analysis creates for the first time a framework in which to understand the literary lives of immigrant women writers.
